Nothing wrong with peace, it's just that it is IMPOSSIBLE. I have accepted that. Liberals should as well. About the hippies, the way I see it, all liberals are hippies.
Just because peace will be hard to achieve, doesn't mean we have to be hoping for war. Without hope, what do you have?
Without hope we're just left with angry bitterness.
PS, Jehovah's Witnesses don't come to my house anymore since I told them that humanity is capable of achieving great things on our own, like peace. They got pissed off at that and left.
